Most summers I have a favourite t-shirt and no matter what the alternative distractions in the wardrobe find myself wearing it quite a lot.

This year it is a deep cherry red one with MAY DAY! NO LLEGO A FIN DE MES lxs percarixs se rebelan! on the front in white. It fits well, and makes me look as though I have more of a tan that I do, and makes my hair look fairer. Also, my husband bought it for me in Spain as a reminder that we met on the 1st of May.

Do other people have a favourite t-shirt (new or old) that makes them feel better looking, more intelligent, more comfortable, more street-wise, hilariously funny or in other way special?

I always feel self-conscious in a t-shirt. It never occured to me before now to wonder why that is.

Maybe you just haven't found the right one?

As do I. I much rather long sleves. I have a favourite shirt (among the many) which I wear quite a lot. It was fierce expenisve and it's looking a bit tatty now but I can't afford to replace it with another like it. Not when I can but a fantastic Duchamp one for half the price.

I used to have quite a few sloganised t-shirts. I had one a few years back which had "I'm Single" in very colourful writing across the front and nice fluffy felt/velvet type stuff around it which people enjoyed feeling.
I also have a bright orange one which was sent to me as a gift from a band I like after I put a particularly gushing review of their new album on their website discussion forum.

And I have a Sigur Ros one which also has the velvety felty stuff on it which I enjoy playing with.

Mm. If we include the whole 'cookiemonster' thing....you don't have 'furry' leanings, do you?

Phew. So to speak.

After much reflection, I think my favourite was one that said '1978 World Cup Argentina' that I wore non-stop back then. It was white with a cool picture of the world. I don't have a favourite now, they're all just t-shirts to me.
